Definitely haven't written here in a while. Hm. I'm at college now, which is incredibly awesome. Well, it'd be perfectly awesome without the homework and tests, but then it wouldn't be college. It's really amazing though. Thinking back on the whole college app process and having no idea where to go, I've realized that I can't imagine being anywhere else. I can't imagine life without the people I've met here and the friends I've made.
Another thing that's mind-blowing is the change. The signs of it are just....everywhere. I'm changing, college is changing, life is changing, the people around me are changing--there's just so much change. Yet as exhilarating and exciting as that is, part of me is incredibly scared that nothing will ever stay the same. And honestly, few things ever do.
But when I'm eating dinner with my favorite people or hanging out with dormmates til godforsaken hours, I can see that the fear is pointless. Life is change. To live, to be human is to be part of an ever-moving, chaotic process of growth. And that's okay. So long as there are friends to grin at, family to love, and people to hug along the way, the uncertainty is bearable. It's the only way.
